Kept tightly under wraps but very soon to be revealed… Be first in line to beat a path to La Marchesa’s door!  

Currently being decked out to perfection in the same highly popular signature style that propelled VOV-owned Gondolieri, Ca’ Dell’Opera, Ca’ Dell’ Ulivo, Ca’ Del Teatro and Ca’ Della Luce into the upper echelons of the luxury rentals market, the striking La Marchesa is about to make its debut, and from what we’ve seen already is sure to garner rave reviews!

Discovered within a discreet network of little alleyways that you’d hardly know were there, yet just moments away from the magnificence of St. Mark’s Square and Venice’s most vibrant designer boutique-laden thoroughfareswhere you can feast your eyes on Ferragamo, go gaga over Gucci, be bowled over by Bulgari, or pick the perfect piece at Prada – this brand new apartment will sleep 6+1 guests in 3(+1) bedroomed accommodation topped with a furnished ‘altana’ roof terrace for soaking up the Venice vibe.

Quietly luxurious styling with an ‘East meets West’ aesthetic will be the order of the day and will set the tone throughout, while all the latest comforts and bespoke artisanal furnishings will weave a haven of wellbeing – a holiday base where life is good.

Cloaked in peace and quiet yet an easy hop, skip and a jump to the legendary Harry’s Bar, the bustling neighbourhood gondola station, the flamboyantly Baroque Church of San Moisè with its frosted cake-style style frontage and, for those with a penchant for opera and history, the site of the once influential but long-disappeared Teatro San Moisè (1620-1818), La Marchesa’s air-conditioned accommodation will extend over 3 floors of the building and comprise –

OUR COMMENT

Close to Teatro La Fenice and sharing the immediate neighbourhood with the 5-star Bauer and Europa & Regina hotels.

And the sights of St. Mark’s Square are all within your grasp! – the Basilica, Campanile, Doge’s Palace, Clock Tower, Caffé Florian, and more…

Also close to the vaporetto (water bus) stop at Vallaresso for easy travel around town, and to the ‘traghetto’ next to the exclusive Gritti Palace Hotel, which, during operating hours, carries passengers by gondola across the Grand Canal to the arty and laid-back district of Dorsoduro.
